Description
The Phelips Arms Hotel is an 18th-century hotel, possibly modified in the early 19th century. It is constructed of ham stone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof, featuring tall coped gables that suggest it may have originally had a thatched roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with a plinth and band courses. The windows are composite three-unit designs, where the center unit is taller and double the width, fitted with 8+16+8 pane sashes set within stone architraves. The lower sashes of the lower windows have had their glazing bars removed. In the second bay from the left, there is a three-centre-arched throughway with entrance doors on either side. There are projecting signs hanging from wrought-iron brackets beside the upper bay on the left. While the property has been significantly altered at the rear and internally, it remains an important feature in the open area at the center of the village. The hotel was referred to by this name by 1835 and may be the successor to the George Inn, which was first mentioned in 1698 and closed in 1822.
